We know a good pull when we see it—the pull that hangs forever and finally lands deep in the end zone with the handler ...

Quad's range-topping Platina series launched last year with an integrated amplifier and the Platina Stream network music ...

Some of the most extreme explosions in the universe are Type I superluminous supernovae. “They are one of the brightest ...

For centuries, astronomers faced the challenge of classifying objects in space based on their appearance. When observing an ...

Sixteen years ago, theoretical astrophysicists at UC Berkeley and elsewhere proposed that highly magnetized, spinning neutron stars — magnetars — were the power source behind some superluminous ...

For decades, astronomers have struggled to differentiate giant planets from brown dwarfs, a class of objects more massive than planets but too small to ignite nuclear fusion like true stars. Through a ...

It is difficult to distinguish between the largest planets and the smallest brown dwarfs, stellar objects that were never massive enough to undergo nuclear fusion. Brown dwarfs tend to be heavier ...

A hardware feature that used to be standard on computers and consoles has quietly disappeared. Several practical shifts explain why it stopped mattering.

Astronomers have identified the first clear evidence of a magnetar forming during a superluminous supernova, offering new insight into some of the brightest explosions in the universe.

The light did not fade the way it was supposed to. After blazing into view about a billion light-years from Earth, the ...

Spin separates giant planets from 'failed stars' Clearest evidence yet that giant planets spin faster than their cosmic lookalikes. (Nanowerk News) Astronomers have ...

New research suggests that the highly magnetized remnants of stars are responsible for powering some of the universe’s most brilliant supernova explosions ...
